Cardinals' Plane Delayed 7 Hours for World Series Game in Boston

Before the St. Louis Cardinals faced the daunting challenge of trying to beat the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park in final games of the World Series, they first had to get to Boston, after their flight was delayed seven hours.

"We've been sitting on the plane here for a couple hours with some mechanical difficulties," manager Mike Matheny told reporters during a conference call Tuesday to Fenway Park as his team waited out the delay. "There's another plane en route in case they can't get this one to where it needs to be. But right now everybody is just kind of waiting around and anticipating either this plane to get fixed or another one to show up, so we can get on our way."
